100
Rob’s Horticulture has a dedicated following in NSW’s Wollondilly, Macarthur & Wingecarribee. Their lawn and garden care programs are just the tip of their professional iceberg, with a team of gardening experts committed to maximising their clients’ investment by fostering a healthy and vibrant garden all year-round. Taking care of the whole system, starting with the soil, is a key part of Rob’s method. Qualified horticulturalists provide disease and pest identification and control which do not compromise plant, human and animal health.
Rob’s Horticulture annually purchases trees for us to plant on their behalf. The trees are distributed to community groups for planting and are sourced from native nurseries to ensure the seedings are grown from indigenous seed collected from the local area.
Carwoola, NSW | 40 trees | 2024
The trees planted were a mixture of Yellow Box, Red Box, Scribbly Gum, Apple Box, Black Wattle, River Bottle Brush and Boxleaf Wattle. These trees will grow to provide both large tree canopy and understory links from the native vegetation reserves on the nearby road corridor.
Thank you for the wonderful support that has givn me the motivation to increase the vegetation on my property. I’m confident that with care, these plantings will positively impact our environment and be there for the next generation to enjoy.

Greta Valley, VIC | 60 trees | 2023
The trees were planted over the winter months by the Greta Valley Landcare Group at Moyhu, on Taungurung country in North East Victoria. They were planted along the Moyhu Walking track, Meadow Creek Rd, just outside the township.
The planting was very diverse, with over 30 different species planted in clumps along the walking track. The vegetation in this area is typically comprised of riparian species (Creekline Grassy Woodland/Floodplain Riparian Woodland) along the waterways of Boggy Creek and King River.
We are very thankful for all the financial support and assistance that has been provided to make our Moyhu Walking Track and Landcare Botanic Gardens a reality.

At this particular site, the objective of the planting was to create a demonstration site with all of the typical indigenous local species on display. Some of the species planted included: Blackwood, Silver Wattle, Silver Banksia, River Bottlebrush, Common Cassinia, Drooping Sheoak, Red River Gum, Yellow Box, Red Box and Rough barked honey-myrtle.
